Hi There!

Let me introduce myself. My name is Val Poirier and I am so many things wrapped in one. First, I’m a woman with an ABUNDANCE of energy and I LOVE LIFE! I’m a proud mama to four beautiful children and three soon to be step children – thank goodness for that abundance of energy! They all keep me busy and on my toes! Some say it’s crazy but I say it’s awesome! I am a soon to be wife to Matt, who I adore more than words can describe and who adds so much joy to my life. Together, we are ready for a lifetime of fun!

Who I Am

I’m a number junkie. I’m a Certified Professional Accountant; numbers, finances and spreadsheets bring me so much joy! I love all things Excel! You can bet that whatever it is, I have a spreadsheet for that!

I’m also a runner. I have competed in many races and triathlons in the past and I completed my first full marathon in September 2019. Running helps not only my physical health, but it helps my mental health as well. It’s a time when I can reflect on my life and everything happening around me and on how I feel about it. It’s a way I can push my limits, both physically and mentally, and I continue to show myself exactly what I’m made of. It’s also when I do some of my best thinking!

I’m a sister, a daughter, a niece, a cousin, a friend and so much more. But there was once a time where I didn’t know who I was. I was a lost soul, going through life on autopilot, not even realizing this was happening. I thought I was happy, but that’s because this was the only kind of happiness I knew. You guys – I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAPPINESS WAS! You see, you can only do what you know. And I had no idea how to LIGHT UP MY SOUL, until I decided it was time to do something different……

Where I Came From

I grew up in a home with addiction and that alone presented some challenges. It came with codependency and dysfunction, including contributing to my own mental suffering, things that I carried with me into adulthood without even realizing it. I knew I wanted something different for my adult life, but I didn’t realize how much learning I had to do. So off I went into the world, and recreated the exact thing I was trying to avoid. It came with a TON of internal suffering and stress. If only I knew back then what I know now! After hitting my rock bottom, I decided it was time to change my beliefs and how I showed up in this world because what I was doing was clearly not working for me. I wanted a different life for myself and for my kids, one they wouldn’t have to recover from like I did. I knew that the more I improved myself, in every way but especially emotionally and mentally, the better off we would all be.

What I Do

I originally started my blog in May 2020 as a form of self expression. I share some of the cool stuff I’ve learnt along the way that has benefited or touched my life in some way. I’ve been a working mom, a stay-at-home mom, a single mom, a divorced mom, and a step mom so I have many different perspectives on being a mom and a woman in this world! I find other people’s insights to be quite helpful and want to share my own. I am very transparent in everything that I do and how I live my life. I have nothing to hide because I found safety within myself. I soon realized just how much suffering was in the world and that I wanted to reach as many people as I could to let them know of another way to live – one of JOY, FULFILLMENT AND INNER PEACE

I officially started my coaching practice in November 2020, which was something I had already been doing informally most of my life. I give people the tools they are missing and need to be successful and move to the next level in their lives regardless of their starting point. 

In December 2020, I launched my podcast to increase my reach because I found that hearing the same thing over and over again may not change anything until I hear that one perspective that pulls it all together to finally make sense. I want to share my love of life, living your best life and being your best self with as many people as I can. This is something I’m EXTREMELY PASSIONATE about. We are all worthy of love and happiness just as we are. I hope that you find something of value to you and know that you are never alone! We are all in this thing together! I’m cheering for you just as hard as I cheer for myself!
